Clara Rockmore
1911-1998 US, Vilnius
Classical and Electronic
Clara Rockmore (born Clara Reisenberg, Vilnius, Lithuania, March 9, 1911; d. New York City, May 10, 1998) is generally considered to be the most accomplished performer ever of the theremin electronic musical instrument. She was a child prodigy on the violin and entered the Imperial conservatory of Saint Petersburg at the age of five. She had a special theremin tailored by Leon Theremin himself to meet her unique requirements, which she then used to perform classical works. Under her control, the theremin sounded like a blend of the cello, violin and human voice.
